Chapter 90

The nunnery was like an ancient citadel. They walked along a thick brick wall until they reached a pair of huge iron gates. Outsiders had been strictly forbidden to enter before wartime. However, once the war began, young widows began to filter into the nunnery. Having lost their families, they found solace in caring for war orphans. Camellia thought it was a sad yet beautiful kind of joy.

Lia was amazed by the exterior grounds, which seemed almost sacred. She gaped at the actual nunnery and its gardens, which were as magnificent as any noble's estate.
